Sony Films owner Tom Rothman teases the first footage from Ridley Scott Napoleon’s epic historical film one has not seen for years. Napoleon is an Apple Original Film that is ready to get its massive theatrical release before streaming on Apple TV+. Through the intense, nerve-wracking scene, we see the film leads Oscar Winner Joaquin Phoenix as the French emperor and military leader Napoleon Bonaparte and his wife and one true love, essayed by Vanessa Kirby.
While Rothman showcased Ridley Scott Napoleon, he shared Napoleon is a personal look at Napoleon’s origins and his swift, ruthless climb to the emperor, viewed through the prism of an addictive and often volatile relationship with his wife and one true love played by Vanessa Kirby.
As the video progresses, we see the arrival of Napoleon and his army troops being discovered by the Russian and Austrian armies. Napoleon, who has bulked up to give his enemies a taste of their own medicine, unleashes his cannons as the opponents move toward them. He shatters the snowy water field with his large guns and throws the attackers into a frozen lake, making it into a large blood-mixed water body.
Napoleon, played by Joaquin Phoenix, stands from a hilltop seeing his carnage unfold. It’s a very intense moment where soldiers fall into a watery grave after yelling. It’s a trap.
